Southwest Bank v. Information Support Concepts, Inc.

In this case, we must determine whether Chapter 33 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code applies to a conversion action brought under Texas Business and Commerce Code section 3.420. The trial court granted Information Support Concept’s summary judgment motion, which asserted that Southwest Bank was liable for conversion and could not join a responsible third party to the action, and the court of appeals affirmed. Because we agree that Chapter 33 does not govern a UCC-based conversion claim, we affirm the court of appeals’ judgment.
